Ca II Triplet Spectroscopy of Small Magellanic Cloud Red Giants. I. Abundances and Velocities for a Sample of Clusters

M. C. Parisi, A. J. Grocholski, D. Geisler +2

We have obtained near-infrared spectra covering the Ca II triplet lines for a number of stars associated with 16 SMC clusters using the VLT + FORS2. These data compose the largest…

Spectral evolution of star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud: I. Blue concentrated clusters in the age range 40-300 Myr

J. F. C. Santos, J. J. Claria, A. V. Ahumada +3

Integrated spectroscopy of a sample of 17 blue concentrated Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) clusters is presented and its spectral evolution studied. The spectra span the range ~3600-…

Integrated spectral analysis of 18 concentrated star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud

A. E. Piatti, J. F. C. Santos, J. J. Claria +3

We present in this study flux-calibrated integrated spectra in the range 3600-6800A for 18 concentrated SMC clusters. Cluster reddening values were estimated by interpolation betwe…

On the calibration of the COBE/IRAS dust emission reddening maps

C. M. Dutra, A. V. Ahumada, J. J. Claria +3

In this work we study the spectral properties (3600 - 6800 A) of the nuclear region of early-type galaxies at low (|b|<25, intermediate (including surroundings of the Magellanic Cl…

The Line-of-Sight Depth of Populous Clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Hugh H. Crowl, Ata Sarajedini, Andres E. Piatti +4

We present an analysis of age, metal abundance, and positional data on populous clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with the ultimate aim of determining the line-of-sight…

Background galaxies as reddening probes throughout the Magellanic Clouds

C. M. Dutra, E. Bica, J. J. Claria +2

We study the spectral properties in the range 3600 Å- 6800 Åof the nuclear region of galaxies behind the Magellanic Clouds. The radial velocities clarified the nature of the object…
